Questions & Answers about ¿Viajarás en el cohete para visitar la nueva colonia?
How is viajarás formed to mean "will travel"?
Viajarás is in the future tense. For regular verbs, you do not chop off the ending like you do in the present tense. Instead, you keep the whole infinitive word (viajar) and add the future ending. For tú (you), that ending is -ás, making it viajarás.
Why do we use en for "in the rocket"?
In Spanish, the preposition en is the go-to word for almost all modes of transportation. Whether you are traveling by car (en carro), on a train (en tren), or in a rocket (en cohete), you use en.
Why use para instead of por before visitar?
We use para here because it expresses a goal or purpose, meaning "in order to." Whenever you do something "in order to" achieve an action, you use para followed by the infinitive form of the verb (like visitar).
Why does nueva come before colonia?
Descriptive adjectives usually come after the noun. However, putting common adjectives like nueva (new) before the noun is often done to emphasize that quality, or to sound a bit more poetic and expressive.
